MikeQ Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Hi not a great photo but it flies! Just needs a tiny repair at the wing root after a botched landing. Wasn't great conditions and a bit tail heavy but definitely time to recruit some aircrew and get the airbrush out! Full steam ahead. Wheres that lead?

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Lead ?, more important where's the paint ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm glad she had a good maiden. Small dings and blemishes seem to be part of slope life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeQ Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 (edited) Finally getting around to ‘beginning to finish’ this one. Test spraying a primed pop bottle full of water. Tamiya TS and AS spray can paint, decanted for use in airbrush. Just wanted to see what colours looked like so not too neat or even. think I’ll go with the light coloured underside. will also be useful as a test shot for weathering, panel lines and all that. not my best skill set, along with metal work 😖 PS Drew up and 3D printed some nozzles for decanting. Bluetack and straws was too messy. Will attach stl to post later Edited March 31 by MikeQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeQ Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Unaccustomed as I am to scale modelling. I might have went a bit too far 😂 Tamiya sanded smooth fine with micromesh. Some decals applied with microsol/microset and some not. Predictably, the ones without not very durable but the ones with applied much better and edges of transfers seem to hace disappeared. Must have tried 20 different pens for panel lines. Some better than others. Its all going to gt a coat of satin 2K so shouldn’t be a problem. easy to overdo it on dodgy weathering effects 😀 Next up, pastels and oils for weathering effects. Gives you more confidence to try things on a pop bottle than a real model. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
